ANNUAL HOLIDAY BOOK PROGRAM

Books to Read and Give as Gifts for the Holidays

Each year around the holiday season, Wildoak Living devotes a program to books. This year, editor and ‘bookavore’ Jill Hannum recommended her favorite books to read or give as gifts for the holidays. We also asked listeners to call in or email their book recommendations. Here is the list of books they recommended.

Jo Baker, A Country Road, a Tree: Fictionalized bio of Samuel Beckett’s years in Paris from 1939 to the end of the war.

Elizabeth Gilbert, The Signature of All Things: Novel. Follows American Alma Whittaker throughout her life and world travels as a botanist. Much background on plant hunting in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Tracy Chevalier, At the Edge of the Orchard: Novel. An ill-fated family moves from Pennsylvania to a mid-west homestead to California, mid 1800s. Features apples and Sequoias and a plant-hunter son.

Louise Penny, A Great Reckoning. Mystery. The most recent of her 12 Armand Gamache novels and perhaps the best of all. The series should definitely be read in order for some events to make sense.

George Prochnik, The Impossible Exile: Stefan Zweig at the end of the world: Biography. In the 1930s, Austrian Zweig was the world’s most translated author. Fleeing Hitler, he went into exile but could not cope and committed suicide in ’42. Excellent writing, a ‘’meditation” on the impact of exile.

Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book: Young Adult Novel. This classic has just come out as a graphic novel by Gaiman and P. Craig Russell. Wonderful prose; the book version should definitely accompany the graphic novel.

Peter Wohlleben, The Hidden Life of Trees. Non-fiction. How trees communicate with people and among themselves.

Tana French, The Trespasser. Mystery/thriller. A well crafted Dublin milieu. See also her “Dublin murder squad” series of earlier books.

Kate Marianchild, Secrets of the Oak Woodlands. Non-fiction, local Mendocino County author. In-depth background on the denizens of oak forests and their interactions with the oaks---poison oak, woodpeckers, newts, etc., etc. The author urges purchases be made through her website at katemarianchild.com.

Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Crow Planet: Essential wisdom from the urban wilderness. Non-fiction. Naturalist Haupt looks at the “nature” that can be found in urban settings. Lots of information on crows and their increasing numbers.

Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark: Untold histories, wild possibilities. Non-fiction. The long-neglected history of radicals’ victories and why we should commit to having home.

Rebecca Solnit, The Faraway Nearby. Non-fiction. How we make our lives out of stories and are connected by empathy.

Molly Peacock, The Paper Garden: An artist begins her life’s work at 72. Biography. Written by an acclaimed British poet, the book chronicles Mrs. Delaney, who began to make botanically correct paper cut outs of flowers in 1772 and thus created the art of collage.

Nicole Mones, Night in Shanghai. Fiction. The late 30s in Shanghai where there is a vibrant jazz scene employing black American musicians.

Perrine and Charles Herve-Gruyer, Miraculous Abundance: One quarter acre, two French farmers and enough food to feed the world. Non-fiction. Small farms as a solution to the homeless problem (in France) using theBec Hellouin model for growing food, sequestering carbon, creating jobs, and increasing biodiversity without using fossil fuels.

Innosanto Nagara, A is for Activist and Counting on Community. Board books for children 5 and under. One is an ABC book, the others a numbers book (counting up from one stuffed piñata to ten hefty hens) and both stress the values of caring for others and community.

University of Montana Law Professor Monte Mills discusses the unresolved issues of sovereignty and jurisdiction complicating the situation at the 32:35 mark.

Even as 1 to 2 feet of snow fell yesterday with sustained winds of 30 to 40 mph, the resistance of The Water Protectors at Standing Rock, North Dakota continues. The multi tribe water protectors, numbering in the thousands, are determined to prevent the Dakota Access Pipeline - The $3.8 billion, 1,172-mile project, owned by Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners, which is complete, except for a segment planned to run under Lake Oahe, a reservoir formed by a dam on the Missouri River, and which is their water source, not to mention that of many millions downriver. The Army Corps of Engineers has issued a removal order to take effect on Dec 5th. Out-going Republican North Dakota governor, Jack Dalrymple, has ordered the immediate evacuation of the main encampment of activists, but a state official says he has not yet authorized law enforcement to carry out that order. On Monday (11/28/16), the National Lawyers’ Guild filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of activists against the Morton County sheriff’s office, alleging excessive force at the November 20th encounter. The group is seeking a temporary restraining order to bar police from using “less-than-lethal” munitions, chemical agents, sound cannons, and water cannons against activists. The first Standing Rock encampment, known as Sacred Stone, was established in April, 2016, on land owned by LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, which sits within the boundaries of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. But as more activists joined the movement, camps were established north of the reservation border, on land managed by the Army Corps of Engineers and leased to a private rancher. While the government asserts that the land falls under its jurisdiction, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe says that it has treaty rights dating from the 1851 & 1858 Ft. Laramie Treaties, which they never relinquished. The Obama administration in September postponed final approval of the Army Corps’ permit required to allow tunneling beneath the lake, a move intended to give federal officials more time to consult tribal leaders. Opposition is also growing across Canada, to Kinder Morgan’s proposed $5 billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Approved yesterday (11/29/16), along with Enbridges’ Twin Pipeline, despite numerous environmental and First Nation sovereignty concerns. They would carry low grade oil from the Alberta tar sands region to ports in Vancouver. Meanwhile, More than 2,000 U.S. military veterans are planning to arrive at Standing Rock this weekend (12/4/16), including Hawaii congresswoman and combat veteran, Tulsi Gabbard.

Alexis Bonogofsky is the Tribal Lands Program Manager for the National Wildlife Federation based in Billings, Montana. She has worked in partnership with Tribes throughout the West for over 10 years on impacts of energy development (on and off reservation), protection of historic and cultural sites, wildlife issues, environmental education, and climate change planning and mitigation. Before that, Alexis worked for Village Earth, a non-profit organization, whose goal is to facilitate sustainable community-based development, by connecting communities with global resources through training, consulting, and networking with groups worldwide. She worked with Village Earth on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. For her, the danger of a pipeline malfunctioning and polluting a river is not a question of “if” but “when”. Her family ranch, Blue Creek Farms, is on the banks of the Yellowstone River, where in July, 2011, an ExxonMobil oil pipeline ruptured underneath the Yellowstone River upstream from her family’s farm, releasing over 63,000 gallons of oil. Only one of many, too many, ruptures and explosions, of fossil fuel pipelines. Her article, "How Indigenous Activists in Norway Got the First Bank to Pull Out of the Dakota Access Pipeline", appeared on truthout.org on 11/28/16. ]]>forthrightradion@gmail.com (Forthright Radio)Public Affairs and Local NewsWed, 30 Nov 2016 14:38:46 -0800The Wild Wisdom of Weeds, Katrina Blair, Nov. 21 2016http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/talk/self-help-and-sustainability/the-farm-and-garden-show/entry/the-wild-wisdom-of-weeds-katrina-blair-nov-21-2016
http://www.kzyx.org/index.php/talk/self-help-and-sustainability/the-farm-and-garden-show/entry/the-wild-wisdom-of-weeds-katrina-blair-nov-21-2016Bill Taylor and Jaye Alison Moscariello interview Katrina Blair about her book The Wild Wisdom of Weeds.. Exterminated as invaders, hated in lawns, underutilized nutritious plants have followed humans to all corners of the Earth that we have occupied. This show outlines how to use 13 plants or groups of plants and may change how you handle them. Amaranth, Chickweed, Clover, Dandelion, Dock, Grass, Knotweed, Lambsquarter, Mallow, Mustard, Plantain, Purslane, Thistle can be made into green powders, bdeads, eafen fresh, and used for medicine or body care. Many recipes, largely raw food, the bring the ideas into concrete value. Celebrate and make use of the abundance.

For now this show is on jukebox.kzyx.org for November 21, 2016.

We will interview her again in March or February 2017 when we hope to have her offer a workshop in Mendocino County.

That is the link to Bill Taylor and Jaye Alison Moscariello's Pledge Drive interview with local author and landscaper Kate Frey. Her book The Bee Friendly Garden (Ten Speed Press) was a thank you gift for pledges to KZYX. She had so much information to offer on many species of solitary and communal bees, plants that feed them, creatng or leaving nesting habitat alone, that we invited her back for a Feb or March interview in 2017.

Undisturbed ground is essential for ground-nesting bees, as are dead plant stems. So please do not mulch every square foot, and leave some untidy areas when cleaning up or pruning berry canes.

Johanna “Wildoak” talks with Fran Korten, Publisher of YES! Magazine, about her recent article “10 Ways to Cope With What Just Happened”.

DEMOCRACY FOR REALISTS: WHY ELECTIONS DO NOT PRODUCE RESPONSIVE GOVERNMENT (Princeton University Press, 2016)

Christopher H. Achen is the Roger Williams Straus Professor of Social Sciences and Professor of Politics at Princeton University. His research interest is Political Methodology, particularly in its application to Empirical Democratic Theory, American Politics, and International Relations. A list of his books would inform you that his work is highly technical and outside the realm of punditry and partisan power politics. His conclusions about the realities of democracy, which he and co-author, Vanderbilt University Professor of Politics Larry M. Bartels, lay out in their book, DEMOCRACY FOR REALISTS: WHY ELECTIONS DO NOT PRODUCE RESPONSIVE GOVERNMENT, challenge some of our most cherished beliefs about the ability of The People to govern themselves.]]>forthrightradion@gmail.com (Forthright Radio)Public Affairs and Local NewsThu, 17 Nov 2016 09:22:50 -0800Alma Latina Nov 12th/16 Playlisthttp://www.kzyx.org/index.php/music/world/alma-latina/entry/alma-latina-nov-12th16-playlist
